The European Association of Clinical Psychology and Psychological Treatment (EA­
CLIPT) board has decided to nominate Ambassadors of Clinical Psychology and Psycho­
logical Treatment. Ambassadors are selected according to their achievements for our 
field, but also according to the perspectives for further fostering the visibility and impact 
of clinical psychology. The typical profile of our ambassadors is the high quality of 
translational research. Ambassadors commit to show their support for the association 
and its mission.

We are proud that two extremely well-known colleagues confirmed to become am­
bassadors for EACLIPT: Paul Emmelkamp and Peter Fonagy, and they will be introduced 
in this issue. We are extending this list and will announce it in future issues of CPE, and 
we promise to consider gender and diversity issues. Congratulations to Paul Emmelkamp 
and to Peter Fonagy, and to all of us because we have tremendous personalities in our 
group.

Claudi Bockting (President of EACLIPT)
Winfried Rief (Editor of CPE)
